CVE-2021-1097
Last modified
CVE-2021-1097 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager (vGPU plugin), where it improperly validates the length field in a request from a guest. This flaw allows a malicious guest to send a length field that is inconsistent with the actual length of the input, which may lead to information disclosure, data tampering, or denial of service. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
